Relief washed over Alex almost the moment he felt the pop. He felt himself mentally lurch forward as though an obstacle in his path that he had been pushing for so long had disappeared all of a sudden, causing his momentum to continue to carry him forward.
Alex stopped immediately before he could do any harm to the others in his Soul Space.
Alex felt incredibly excited at the fact that he had broken through the seal and was even ready to celebrate when his happiness turned sour.
The seal was still there.
'What?' he thought in confusion. How could the seal exist when he had broken through it just now?
He could already tell that he was seeing the inside of his Soul Space. So he had succeeded, and yet the seal still existed?
Alex pushed down his questions and observed the situation at first. He looked through the seal in its entirety and was surprised to find that he hadn't done anything to it at all.
It was still the same seal as it always was. However, there was now a tiny hole within it, and through that Alex was able to send his Spiritual sense into his Soul Space.
That was all he needed really. The rest of the seal wasn't that big of a deal anyway if he could gain access to the Soul Space already. He would deal with the rest later on.
Alex was about to switch his focus over to his Soul Space when he noticed something regarding the seal.
"Shit!" he thought all of a sudden. "Can it regenerate?"
The seal was in the process of healing itself, going so far as to try and plug the small hole that Alex had created. For some reason though, it could not regenerate fully for now.
The mere presence of Alex's spiritual sense had stopped it from fully closing.
Alex had no doubt that if he pulled out his Spiritual sense, the seal would heal back to how it was before, in which case he would have to break it open again just to gain access to his Soul Space again.
Alex sighed upon learning that, but there wasn't much else he could do right now. He would just have to keep his Spiritual sense inside the seal at all times.
"Brother?" a voice came to Alex.
Alex was about to reply when he realized that it wasn't Whisker who questioned him.
It was Pearl.
"Pearl?" Alex asked. "Can you hear me?"
Their bonds that were separated by the seal had reformed now that he had poked a hole through it.
Alex could send and receive messages from Pearl.
"I can hear you, brother. Are you alright? Is Whisker there?" Pearl asked urgently.
"I'm doing okay," Alex quickly answered. "So is Whisker. He told me about what was happening there. Let me see if I can do something about it."
Alex's Spiritual sense spread through his Soul Space, spreading for tens of hundreds of kilometers. The distance his Spiritual sense could spread was so large that the pitiful 3-meter radius that he was allowed in Hell felt almost vindictive toward him.
